Wont rev above about 4000rpm
« on: 16 February 2013, 11:32:15 »
Hi All, Car is a 2.5 V6 automatic....No problems until today when I put it into sport mode and used kickdown....got to between 3000 +4000 revs and then misfired that badly that it stopped accelerating at all. Tried it several times in and out of sport mode ...the same fault, locked it into first gear and again same fault. There is no noticable lack of power or misfire under normal use not exceeding around 3000rpm...the tickover at 500rpm which used to be perfect is now very slightly uneven. Code reader shows only code 19 which is incorrect rpm....any ideas please?

You want to get that crank sensor replaced quickly, as it can fail at any time.

Can you get access to genuine GM parts?

Also double check the plugs for oil/water  :y

Not all V6 crank sensors are the same, they changed over the years  :y

Try AndyC for trade prices, he is a parts manager at a Vauxhall dealer  :y

Replaced crank sensor and fault has been cured as per advice thank you. Checked codes again after a run and code 31 showed up, again referring to rpm fault, cleared it ,started the engine and revved up but not been for a run yet but no faults reappeared. What is code 31 cause please.
